Terrible things have happened
Terrible things
Terrible things live
Exist.
We must live
Trying
Not to harbour
But
Eliminate
Those terrible things.
Not hear, feel
Allow
Those awful
Awful
Terrible things.

No one can
or
will be
the essence of me.
Me, alone
is the only one
I am.
Pure with faults
that’s who
who I am, I can
will be.

Soley
my heart does ache
for ones taken
as
angels bring to heaven
these innocent people
who’ve lost
their precious lives.
What is the reason why?
My heart aches
I weep, we weep
We cry.

Don’t fear the light
Nor the darkness in the dead of night
They will all embrace you
Lead you
With a guiding light.

Can’t see where I’m going
nor
where I’ve been
the road is rough
too many bends
for me.
Will I come
out to the open?
See the path before me
gently sloping
to a valley full of fun
no sadness nor depression
so deep.
Hopefully
this is what I’ll see
will be.

I know
you haven’t been
the one
to make a difference
in my life.
That can only be
has to be
my purpose
my only purpose
forever, ever be.

Hold them close
and
very tight
Feel your breath
breathe love
in the morning light
Let no soul travel
the path taken
all alone
No, never
never alone.

When I hear your heart beat
I know you are near
embracing
me
comforting
supporting
me
When I hear your heart beat.

The sun shines bright
Mists have blended
Into the water beyond
No one sees bees
No bats fly
In the expanse that surrounds
Nor does anyone hear
The cry
They’re gone, they’re gone
I rest, I sleep
Maybe there I’ll see
And
Seek a world that once here
Belonged.

Hear the bells ring
Some birds sing
While chimes announce
The coming of daylight
In the early morning spring.
All is right
All will be as nature
Deems it to be
Far into the quiet darkness
Of night’s fading light.
